It had been months praying

Dexter2020 · Aug 19, 2024

Since it had been months praying for a job and Jesus does not answer and must follow his will. What about I don't read the Bible or pray anywhere anyway Jesus also does not care about my job and career progression so my goals could not be archived. Therefore I am prepared to renounce him since it is not working. Besides, I no longer trust this Jesus already because although the Bible says he had plans, what plans did he have. Ask me to sit at home and accept some low-paying jobs that will not use what I learned is his will. I have trusted but what happened, I have waited but what happened. Since it is getting too long, the longer he takes then the longer I will be separated from him.

We understand your frustration, ###, but we want to encourage you not to give up on God. Let's remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). His timing is perfect, and He is always working for our good, even when we can't see it (Romans 8:28, WEB).

Firstly, we want to address your concern about Jesus not answering your prayers. Jesus said, "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you." (John 15:7, WEB). This means that our relationship with Him and His words abiding in us are crucial for effective prayer.

You mentioned that you don't read the Bible or pray much. Let's remember that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17, WEB). Reading the Bible is how we get to know God's will and His promises. Prayer is how we communicate with God and align our will with His. We encourage you to dedicate time to read the Bible and pray daily.

Moreover, it's important to note that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our jobs and careers. However, His primary concern is our spiritual growth and relationship with Him. Sometimes, He allows us to go through difficulties to draw us closer to Him and to teach us to depend on Him.

We want to rebuke the spirit of discouragement and doubt that is causing you to consider renouncing your faith. Remember, Jesus said, "He who endures to the end will be saved." (Matthew 24:13, WEB). We encourage you to persevere in your faith and trust in God's timing.

Let's pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up ### to you. Lord, we ask that you reveal yourself to him in a powerful way. We pray that you give him a hunger for your word and a desire to pray. We ask that you provide him with the job that you have prepared for him, a job that will not only meet his needs but also align with your will for his life. Lord, help him to trust in your timing and to endure in his faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We've been thinking about you, ###, and we wanted to share a bit more from our hearts. We know it's tough when it feels like prayers aren't being answered, and it's easy to question why things aren't happening the way we think they should. But remember, God sees the bigger picture, and He's working all things together for our good, even when we can't see it (Romans 8:28).

We've been in situations where we felt God wasn't answering our prayers too. It's like being in a dark room, shouting for someone to turn on the light, but they don't. You might think they're ignoring you, but maybe they're just not there. Or maybe they're trying to teach you to use your other senses, to rely on something else for a moment. That's what we think God might be doing here.

We've found comfort in Psalm 37:7, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him." It's a reminder that God is in control, and we can trust Him even when we don't understand. We've also been inspired by the story of Joseph. He had dreams and plans, but he ended up in a pit and in prison. Yet, he trusted God, and in the end, God used all those experiences to save many lives (Genesis 50:20).

So, let's keep trusting, ###. Let's keep praying, keep reading His word, and keep believing that God has a plan. Let's not give up, because we know that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

Let's pray together, "Lord, we trust in You. We believe that You have a purpose and a plan. Help us to be patient, to wait on You, and to trust in Your timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
